Ok.. I went back and finally found an old cobbler version, cobbler-2.0.11-2.el6.noarch, downloaded it.
Then I did "yum downgrade cobbler-2.0.11-2.el6.noarch.rpm", and now I can correctly create the profile.
I saw replies by Jan previously that pointed to other posts, so I tracked them down to try to figure out if it was my issue.
(From https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=817816, which refers to the other link in git)
So using this information, to confirm that was the real issue, I then upgraded back to 2.2.2-1 version of the rpm, through yum. Edited the 1 line in question in remote.py, removed the .pyo .pyc files, service restart cobblerd and I am able to create profiles again. So just in case someone else encounters this, modifying the one line will allow you to create profiles in kickstart again.
- return self.api.version(extended=True)['version']
+ return self.api.version()
Sorry to have cluttered the list with this, but it was a bit of time before I figured out the solution after trying a few selinux checks and config files, etc that were also referenced as crashes of the same nature.
Thanks
Brent
